Win tickets to our Secret Gin Garden tasting event, plus a hamper courtesy of Mary-le-bone Gin

On May 8th, we’re inviting you to tantalise your taste buds and immerse yourself in a secret hidden oasis nestled in the heart of London. Evening Standard Speakeasy presents The Secret Gin Garden - join us in a botanical world of gin, charm your senses, explore the exotic surroundings and the quintessential range of ginspirations on offer.

A single spirit with a thousand flavours. This immersive experience will give you the tools to discover a careful selection of premium gins from old favourites to distinct artisan offerings. We’ll take you on a sophisticated journey with masterclasses from gin experts and ambassadors, helping you to understand the distilling process and the diverse range of flavours and aromas and how they’re created.

In true speakeasy style, the event will take place at a secret London location - with the venue confirmed to attendees just days before the event. The evening will feature live music, premium gin tastings, theatre, mixologists and food pairings that will stimulate your senses, whether you are a gin novice or an aficionado.

Mary-le-bone Gin has a distilling history dating back 8 generations. Based around the Pleasure Gardens, which existed on Marylebone high street in the 17th/18th centuries, their gin is distilled in Marylebone in small batches in a beautiful copper pot still. Their unique original recipe contains 13 botanicals including the flavours and aromas of lime flower, lemon balm, camomile and grapefruit alongside more traditional London gin botanicals. The harsh heads and pesky tails are discarded to bring you the very heart of the gin in the very heart of London. Aficionados suggest they may well be starting their own gin craze. Guests attending The Secret Gin Garden will be able to meet the makers and taste this fabulous gin at the event.

We’re offering readers the chance to win a pair of tickets to the event on 8 May, plus a gin hamper containing three bottles of Mary-le-bone Gin, three bottles of tonic water and a tote bag. One runner-up will also receive a Mary-le-bone Gin hamper.
